How much of it though is fighting related and how much of it is just due to the regular rough style of hockey they played? You know a lot of times in these fights, they're just grabfests with few solid blows. It's not like most NHL fights are Hagler/Hearns fights to the death. Some are quite sloppy.

But what about all of the other things that happen over the course of a career at all levels? Getting checked into the boards and hitting your head on the glass. An errant stick coming down on your head. Getting elbowed, getting crosschecked up high. There is so much that happens where the head comes into play in just regular hockey situations. The cumulative impact of that can lead to issues down the road too.
